long wakizashi made by Kozuke no kami Kanesada around 1673. sword is also signed on the ura as Motte Namban Tetsu Kore wo Saku, made using nanban tettsu. He was a wazamono smith.

I initially purchased this sword from Grey Doffin, and have enjoyed owning it over the past few years, but i'm now narrowing down the styles of nihonto that i collect so i must move this on.

I've had this for sale on ebay for a while, and thought id share it with the group. i believe this sword will make a fantastic beginner sword, or even make a nice addition to a collection.

Please have a look at the photos, the sword includes shirasaya and two older nbthk certificates, kicho and tokubetsu kicho. Both papers have the same owners name, which is also hot stamped onto the shirasaya. there are also some areas of ware on the blade which i've taken photos of.

Sword is located Sydney Australia. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions.

 

may even trade for mihara or hokke.
